Artist’s son visits gallery
By
GLEN PERKINSON
The son of the creator of the Real People exhibition popped into Christchurch yesterday to catch his dad’s work at the Robert McDougall Art Gallery. Dr Craig Hanson is in New Zealand for about three months working at Nelson Hospital as a radiologist. After a short look at some of the South Island he and his wife, Katherine, will return home to Seattle. Dr Hanson said his father, Duane Hanson, had “toned-down” his sculpture from often “shocking and disturbing” popart-renditions of 1960 s “social turmoil.” Hanson’s present exhibition is still a startling look at life. “There’s shock-value to it,” Dr Hanson said, “but once people look they soon see it in a different light.” Dr Hanson is one of five children. Although he had “dabbled” in art in his father’s studio during his youth he decided to take up medicine.
